US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died Saturday following a brief illness at the age of 71, his office confirmed.

“On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness. Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” Graham’s office said on X on Sunday morning.

A cause of death was not immediately revealed.

Emergency officials responded to Graham’s Capitol Hill home at around 8:30 p.m. when they received a report about an individual suffering from chest pains, the Washington Post reported, citing police scanner audio.

Officials performed CPR on the man as he went into cardiac arrest nearly a half hour later and was rushed to George Washington University Hospital, according to the outlet.
